A heavily-changed Manchester United side could only manage a goalless draw at West Ham United on Thursday. However, a draw was enough to ensure a second-place finish for United, and now they will aim to finish their league season with a win over Watford on Sunday.

The Red Devils will get a break of only 72 hours before the game,…
